WEB 2.0 TOOL WK

 MuseScore is an invaluable resource for music students anywhere. It offers a free and user-friendly platform for creating, sharing, and discovering for sheet music. As a college student, I can utilize MuseScore to not only compose and arrange my own music but also to access a vast library of scores from various genres and styles. This can be especially helpful for my studies here at Stockton, allowing me to analyze different compositions, learn new techniques, and even collaborate with peers. The ability to download and print scores means I can easily prepare materials for practice or performance, making it an essential tool in my current academic journey. 




Looking ahead to my future as a music educator and performer, MuseScore will continue to serve as a valuable asset. As a music teacher, I can leverage the platform to create custom sheet music tailored to my students’ needs, fostering a more personalized learning experience. Moreover, the community aspect of MuseScore allows you to connect with other educators and musicians, sharing resources and ideas that can enhance teaching methods through a PLN. For my own performance career, the ability to access a diverse range of scores and arrangements can inspire my repertoire and help me stay current in the ever-evolving music landscape. Overall, MuseScore is a versatile tool that supports both academic and professional growth in music.

Good Website Vs Bad Website

  Here we have Free-Scores.com which is a free sheet music website that allegedly allows you to open hundreds of music libraries for free. Upon further inspection, the website only allows you to access about twenty five of the free scores without watching video ads. This would have been something I could deal with if there wasn’t a pop up ad covering the entire page every 5 seconds. The functionality of the website lacks smoothness, there’s 3 different options to get to the same page and when you get there it just displays more ads. So in addition to being hard to access and pumped full of ads, the website is just hard to use and navigate, especially for someone who has never tried to look up sheet music before. They also claim to have free notation software but I was unable to find notation or scoring options anywhere on their website. Now we have MuseScore, a free and easy to use online notation software that allows you to access thousands of online sheet music libraries for that...

The app Amazing Slow Downer is an invaluable tool for college students, especially those engaged in music studies or performance-related coursework. It allows users to slow down audio without altering the pitch, which is particularly beneficial when trying to learn complex pieces or transcribe music. Students can use this feature to break down challenging sections of their coursework, practice difficult rhythms, and improve their overall comprehension of the material.

For instance, I could slow down a challenging passage of a new...

  On October 29th 2024, American fitness and finance influencer Andrew Tate made an inflammatory series of racist tweets in response to an Indian musician announcing his tour dates for the year. Diljit Dosanjh posted a sweet video of him interacting with his fans to announce his tour date. Little did Diljit know that a known to be insensitive influencer was about to make an extremely racist comment and spark up a conflict underneath Diljit's post that would ruin Tate's reputation for good.  After being called out for his racism, Tate doubled down on his insensitivity and continued with inflammatory tweets against Indian people. Going on to say "I will let my daughters do anything besides marry a dirty Indian." (X 10/29)  After reading, to me, social media etiquette refers to the guidelines and ideal behaviors that are polite and considerate of others online when interacting on social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook. This problem could have been avoided if ...
